Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Are there any nasties in the new Yahoo! terms & conditions?

I have just had notice of the transfer of all Yahoo!'s European operations to Ireland. That's fair enough.

At the bottom of the email was this statement:

"What do you need to do?

Your continued use of Yahoo services after 21 March 2014 means that you accept the changes to the Terms and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to them, then you must close your account before 21 March 2014."

I have a nasty memory of the Mail T&C change last year, where I would have to agree to them monitoring my emails and giving them freedom to hand them over unsecured to third parties for targetted advertising, which I would not agree to.

Is this merely agreeing to them moving offices, or is there something more sinister buried in there?

    I got this too. Is this genuine or is it spam/phising? If it's genuine surely it should be on Yahoo's website or on the mail home page? I'm too suspicious to click any links.

    I'd love to know what this is all about too........... fwiw.

    And I'm not clicking on any links either.
